Philadelphia Ledgee: It is reported from Washington that the political situation in New York is discouraging to the democrats | throughont the country, and that there is a demand for President Cleveland to make a speech or “do something.” This i« & refresh- 1ng condition of affairs, when ft is considered that the demoralization of the demoeracy ghout the country proceeds rather from he acts and omissions of a demoeratic con- gress than from the local situation in New York. So thcy want President Cleveland to do something!" When these democratio congressmen were {n session they paid very little attention to President Cleveland. They combated hin directly on the colnage of the seigniorage, and the tariff bill that they volved was so unsatisfactory that he could not sign it and thereby stultify himself, w York democrats are in a bad way, it i3 true, but there is more than the Tammany fly in the democratic ointment Chicago Record: Unless Grover Cleveland is completely hardened to all appeals of pa- thos he will immediately lay down his fish- ing tackle, sail away to New York and hasten to tell the democracy in that city how he's golng to vote. For Tammany, which | some time ago was so self-reliant and scorn ful, has undergone 4 sad change. Senator HIll himself has not manifested signs of con i e Lexow committee has been re ammany abuses to the publi The mayoralty nomination has excited popu- lar scorn. —And all the time the anti-Tam- many democrats are holding aloof in a most | heartrending manner. The democratic pres- | dent is now confronted by the unwonted sight of the entire Tammany constituouey on its knees, singing sad, swcet songs of | yearning. Kven the New York Sun, that | stout-hearted defender of Tammany in all sorts of weather, is in a mood of repinin |and alternately 'sighs and coaxes for the | support_of Mr. Cleveland and the adminis tion democracy.
